Q-linea announces shipment of two ASTar® instruments to Saudi Arabia

Q-Linea

Today Q-linea AB (publ) (OMX: QLINEA) announces two ASTar units will be shipped to hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Local partner AMICO will manage installation of the instruments for evaluations expected to convert to clinical use during 2026.

These instruments complement two ASTar units already deployed for evaluations that have been successfully completed in Kuwait and UAE. Demand for ASTar has increased across the region following successful commercialisation efforts by AMICO. It is anticipated that the first ASTar will move into routine clinical use in the region during Q2 2026 with several more expected to go live later in the year.

“The instruments will be installed in two leading health systems in Riyadh and Jeddah with the expectation they will help guide adoption decisions for the Ministry of Health”, says Sherif Harydi, Regional Commercial Director for AMICO.

“We are excited to introduce ASTar to Saudi Arabia where we see significant interest in the technology to meet patient needs”, adds Franco Pellegrini, VP EMEA Sales for Q-linea.
